mm: rework virtual memory accounting

2016-01-15T00:00:49Z

When inspecting a vague code inside prctl(PR_SET_MM_MEM) call (which testing the RLIMIT_DATA value to figure out if we're allowed to assign new @start_brk, @brk, @start_data, @end_data from mm_struct) it's been commited that RLIMIT_DATA in a form it's implemented now doesn't do anything useful because most of user-space libraries use mmap() syscall for dynamic memory allocations. Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable for anonymous memory accounting. But in this patch we go further, and the changes are bundled together as: * keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits * replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm * account anonymous executable areas as executable * account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack * drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account * enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends only on vm_flags state: VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE -> code (VmExe + VmLib in proc) VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN -> stack (VmStk) VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data (VmData) The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called "shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO area. - RLIMIT_AS limits whole address space "VmSize" - RLIMIT_STACK limits stack "VmStk" (but each vma individually) - RLIMIT_DATA now limits "VmData" Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov Cc: Quentin Casasnovas Cc: Vegard Nossum Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Willy Tarreau Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Vladimir Davydov Cc: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg

2016-01-15T00:00:49Z

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg. For the list, see below: - threadinfo - task_struct - task_delay_info - pid - cred - mm_struct - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu) - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain - signal_struct - sighand_struct - fs_struct - files_struct - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits - dentry and external_name - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).

Merge branch 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

2016-01-13T03:20:32Z

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - cgroup v2 interface is now official. It's no longer hidden behind a devel flag and can be mounted using the new cgroup2 fs type. Unfortunately, cpu v2 interface hasn't made it yet due to the discussion around in-process hierarchical resource distribution and only memory and io controllers can be used on the v2 interface at the moment. - The existing documentation which has always been a bit of mess is relocated under Documentation/cgroup-v1/. Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt is added as the authoritative documentation for the v2 interface. - Some features are added through for-4.5-ancestor-test branch to enable netfilter xt_cgroup match to use cgroup v2 paths. The actual netfilter changes will be merged through the net tree which pulled in the said branch. - Various cleanups * 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: rename cgroup documentations cgroup: fix a typo. cgroup: Remove resource_counter.txt in Documentation/cgroup-legacy/00-INDEX. cgroup: demote subsystem init messages to KERN_DEBUG cgroup: Fix uninitialized variable warning cgroup: put controller Kconfig options in meaningful order cgroup: clean up the kernel configuration menu nomenclature cgroup_pids: fix a typo.

sched/core: Reset task's lockless wake-queues on fork()

2016-01-06T10:01:07Z

In the following commit: 7675104990ed ("sched: Implement lockless wake-queues") we gained lockless wake-queues. The -RT kernel managed to lockup itself with those. There could be multiple attempts for task X to enqueue it for a wakeup _even_ if task X is already running. The reason is that task X could be runnable but not yet on CPU. The the task performing the wakeup did not leave the CPU it could performe multiple wakeups. With the proper timming task X could be running and enqueued for a wakeup. If this happens while X is performing a fork() then its its child will have a !NULL `wake_q` member copied. This is not a problem as long as the child task does not participate in lockless wakeups :) Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Davidlohr Bueso Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Thomas Gleixner Fixes: 7675104990ed ("sched: Implement lockless wake-queues") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20151221171710.GA5499@linutronix.de Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

sched/cputime: Convert vtime_seqlock to seqcount

2015-12-04T09:34:46Z

The cputime can only be updated by the current task itself, even in vtime case. So we can safely use seqcount instead of seqlock as there is no writer concurrency involved.

sched/cputime: Clarify vtime symbols and document them

2015-12-04T09:34:44Z

VTIME_SLEEPING state happens either when: 1) The task is sleeping and no tickless delta is to be added on the task cputime stats. 2) The CPU isn't running vtime at all, so the same properties of 1) applies. Lets rename the vtime symbol to reflect both states.

cgroup: pids: fix race between cgroup_post_fork() and cgroup_migrate()

2015-11-30T14:48:18Z

If the new child migrates to another cgroup before cgroup_post_fork() calls subsys->fork(), then both pids_can_attach() and pids_fork() will do the same pids_uncharge(old_pids) + pids_charge(pids) sequence twice. Change copy_process() to call threadgroup_change_begin/threadgroup_change_end unconditionally. percpu_down_read() is cheap and this allows other cleanups, see the next changes. Also, this way we can unify cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and dup_mmap_sem. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Zefan Li Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
